Raised to the peerage in the UK (8)
I believe the answer is:
ennobled
'raised to the peerage in the uk' is the definition.
(I've seen this before)
This is the entire clue.
(Other definitions for ennobled that I've seen before include "Got up to peer" , "Given peerage" , "Raised to the peerage in the UK" , "Dignified" , "Elevated to the peerage" .)
